Chapter 744 - 744 741 The Beginning of a Long Night

?Chapter 744: Chapter 741 The Beginning of a Long Night Chapter 744: Chapter 741 The Beginning of a Long Night Hasty footsteps disrupted the tranquility of the sanctuary, as a middle-aged priest clad in a deep blue robe embroidered with gold swiftly passed through the long corridor. Under the silent watch of numerous sages depicted on the murals on both sides, he arrived at the doorway to the prayer room. Before he could knock, a gentle female voice already emerged from inside, “Come in.”

The middle-aged priest pushed open the door and saw a figure standing before the statue of the Storm Goddess—it was Helena, dressed in a simple priest’s robe, her wrists entwined with a string of ocean-blue crystal beads. It seemed she had been devoutly praying until just a second ago. Hearing the sound of the door opening behind her, she did not turn but remained quietly fixated on the veiled statue of the goddess and softly began to speak, “How are things outside now?”

“Dusk still lingers, the sun remains fixed in its original position, maintaining ‘normal’ brightness and form,” the middle-aged priest promptly reported with a bow, “Order within the City-State is still good. Due to the unclear situation, most citizens have returned to their homes awaiting further instructions. No anomalies have been reported from the Ark ships, and four squads of technical priests are on standby near the steam boilers.”

Helena nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought for a moment before suddenly asking, “What about the other Arks?”

“Just minutes ago, we had a connection. Everything on the Arks is normal. The Academy Ark reported that their observation equipment received a series of repeated signals from the direction of the sun, different from previous signals. When converted to sound, they were sharp, brief noises…”

Helena hummed in response, then fell silent again, continuing to gaze quietly at the statue of the goddess. For a while, she seemed to have forgotten about the middle-aged priest still waiting for instructions beside her, until several minutes later, she murmured to herself, “The long dusk…”

Taran El furrowed his brows, gazing at the report just delivered by his apprentice. The long paper strip, automatically recorded by a machine, was covered in complex curves and seemingly patternless holes, baffling to the ordinary eye. These enigmatic data depicted the current state of the long-standing luminary and guardian of their world, “Anomaly 001 – the Sun.”

After a long time, the Elf scholar finally put down the paper strip, tiredly rubbing his temples, not speaking for a long while.
